The server is copied to /data/local/tmp/scrcpy-server.jar and executed
on the device.
As soon as we are connected, we can unlink (rm) it from /data/local/tmp,
to keep the device clean.
SDL_net is not very suitable for scrcpy.
For example, SDLNet_TCP_Accept() is non-blocking, so we have to wrap it
by calling many SDL_Net-specific functions to make it blocking.
But above all, SDLNet_TCP_Open() is a server socket only when no IP is
provided; otherwise, it's a client socket. Therefore, it is not possible
to create a server socket bound to localhost, so it accepts connections
from anywhere.
This is a problem for scrcpy, because on start, the application listens
for nearly 1 second until it accepts the first connection, supposedly
from the device. If someone on the local network manages to connect to
the server socket first, then they can stream arbitrary H.264 video.
This may be troublesome, for example during a public presentation ;-)
Provide our own simplified API (net.h) instead, implemented for the
different platforms.
SDLNet_TCP_Close() not only closes, but also release the resources.
Therefore, we must not close the socket if another thread attempts to
read it.
For that purpose, move socket closing from server_stop() to
server_destroy().
Accept a parameter to limit the video size.
For instance, with "-m 960", the great side of the video will be scaled
down to 960 (if necessary), while the other side will be scaled down so
that the aspect ratio is preserved. Both dimensions must be a multiple
of 8, so black bands might be added, and the mouse positions must be
computed accordingly.
